You got downvoted, but I think this is an interesting idea.
I don't think it is great to be applied as a default to everyone, but if I were forced to go to prison as the person I am today, I would opt for this in a heart beat over being exposed to the general prison population as the risks of that far outweigh spending lots of time alone reading/learning. I know I can do the latter--I don't know that I can do the former and come out unscathed. So for me it all comes down to risk.
- psykovsky 11y agoExactly. I spent 40 days in prison once, on a cell with 12 or 13 other dudes... I would gladly take the isolation. I would lose the dozen or so blunts I smoke with some of the cool dudes with whom I had common friends, but I would be first in line for that isolation and some books.
- hugh4 11y agoThanks for bringing up another important point: today's prisons are rife with drugs. Won't be easy getting drugs in my prison, so everyone will come out clean.
- hugh4 11y agoOf course I got downvoted. This place is even worse than reddit nowadays in terms of punishing thoughtcrime.
